Eckington Fitness Suite £182K Refurbishments

Exciting news for Just Do More members!

£182k investment in the Fitness Suite at Eckington Active to keep
North East Derbyshire residents active.
As part of our commitment to promoting a community with lifelong good health,
North-East Derbyshire District Council is injecting £182k into Eckington Active to
refurbish the Fitness Suite at the end of October 2024.
The Fitness Suite will be closed from Monday 14th October and re-open on Monday
28th October, during which time the décor and flooring will be refreshed and new
equipment installed. Members will see all new Pulse Fitness equipment with an
expanded free weight area, along with the addition of a functional area with an Indigo
Fitness rig. 3D images are available to view in the Fitness Suite giving an indication of
how it will look once the project is complete.
Members who attend Studio Cycle classes will be excited to hear that we are also
getting new Keiser UK bikes.
During the closure why not continue training at either Killamarsh Active or Dronfield
Active where your Just Do More membership is valid at all our sites.
If you want to continue exercising at Eckington while the Fitness Suite refurbishment
takes place, we will be adding free swimming in public & lane swimming sessions to
anyone who has gym use included in their membership.
Members not wishing to take advantage of these alternative options can contact
reception to freeze their membership for a period of one month.
Details of closures and what facilities will be available in the centres will be posted
onto the Council’s website www.ne-derbyshire.gov.uk and within the facilities
themselves.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this refurbishment but are sure you
will agree the end result will be worthwhile
